Koni said me that the FSD shocks will only work well all around, and therefore they don't sell only for the front. I read several reports saying that the Koni "yellows" are stiffer than the M-Tech even in the softest set. This make me think in the bilstein sport shocks. How is it when compared with the M-Tech/Koni shocks?

I have 10,000 miles on my yellow sports with H&R and I drive every single day in most road conditions. You'll wanna do all 4 corners. FSD or Yellows you wont go wrong

In the rear it has the self-levelling system, so it only needs for the front.
BTW, i ordered the Koni sport "yellows".

I mounted it this afternoon in the softer setting. It improved the confort but it raised the front 0,5"
